2. GUIDE TO SELECTING THE RIGHT NEEDLE
FLAT SHANK NEEDLES
15x1: HAx1, 130/705H, SY2020, SY2031, 206x15, PFx130,
canu 22:15; This is the standard needle with a flat shank and
a regular size eye for most home sewing machines and home
sewer based embroidery and quilting machines. It has one
groove and a regular scarf. It is available in many sizes with a
sharp or a ball point and a chrome or PD/titanium finish.
15x1SP: HAx1SP, HAx1KN; This is a special version of the
15x1 for stretch or elastic materials or tightly woven knits .
It is made to higher standards, it has a 'snake's head' shape
due to a combination of a slightly bulged eye and a slightly
reduced blade above the eye.
The bulged eye opens a slightly larger space in the material
and the thinner blade above the eye reduces contact between
the material and the needle. This reduces friction and needle
heating and prevents skipped stitches. It is available in regular
(sharp) and ball point.
15x1ST: HAx1ST, 130/705H-E; This is a special version of
the 15x1 for embroidery and decorative stitching . It is
made to higher standards for smoother sewing. It has an
oversized eye to reduce the stress and tension on delicate
embroidery thread. It also accommodates metallic threads
and makes needle threading easier. It is available in regular
(sharp) or ball point and with chrome or PD/titanium longer
wearing finish.
HAx130 EBBR: This needle was developed for use in the
Brother PR-600 and Babylock EMB6 machines and the new
10 needle models (probably called PR-1000 and EMB10). It is
an industrial quality needle with a flat shank, reinforced blade,
light Ball Point and an oversized eye. It is available in a wide
range of sizes with a hard chrome finish.
HAx130N: 130N; This special needle has a very long,
almost double length, eye. It is made for Top-Stitching or
Decorative stitching and will accept heavy or multiple
threads. It can also be used for embroidery with heavy,
metallic threads . It is availble in chrome or PD/titanium
finish.
